Are you a cruiser or new to cruise?

Not sure if it for you just yet?

I used to switch off when friends spoke about the wonders of cruising but then I thought, let's see what it is all about and took a 4 day river cruise along the waterways in France.

Well blow me down, I was sold!
I had just the best time and have since taken up ocean cruising too. Not been disappointed yet!

There's a cruise line out there for everyone Families, Solo's, Couples, Multi-Generational too.

So if you want to have a chat or learn more, get in touch or pop over and join my dedicated cruise group where you will find some fab offers! ⛴️

🐢Tom Tom, St James, Barbados 🐢
5 bedrooms | access to Fairmont Royal Pavillion Beach resort | cook service included
Prices from £2225pp departing in February 2025 for half term, inclusive of flights & checked luggage!
Facing the sunset, with glorious sea views from the swimming pool terrace, this ultra-stylish Balinese villa exudes an air of unashamed luxury and enhances undisturbed relaxation with cook services.
Placed for peace and privacy within the gated Calijandra estate, this beautifully designed family villa adds convenience to its many attributes. The famous Sugar Hill and Royal Westmoreland resorts are just a five minute drive away, and sumptuous Sandy Lane beach is within equally easy reach, as are the shops and restaurants of Holetown. The villa is set on a ridge overlooking the sea, a twenty metre infinity pool taking pride of place in the foreground, surrounded by an expansive sun-soaked terrace and overlooked by a shaded lounging terrace and poolside dining pavilion. These two lead indoors to an open-plan area with cool stone floors, coral stone walls, an uncluttered kitchen and a chic and comfortable sitting room, its big chairs and sofas custom made in Bali. With modern four-poster beds and a muted colour palette, the five en suite bedrooms are delightfully indulgent, two with a typically tropical open-air bathtub in a little walled courtyard.
Tom Tom enjoys privileged access to the Fairmont Royal Pavilion beach facility where guests may use the sun loungers, beach umbrellas and food & beverage facilities within the resort. The staff are highly rated by previous guests and enjoy creating a special experience to match the setting of this stunning holiday home.

✈️ Fly from London Heathrow on 17th February 2025 for 7 nights at Tom Tom, Barbados - including direct flights and luggage with Virgin Atlantic from £2225pp based on 10 people travelling.

Based on 10 people travelling, subject to availability at the time of enquiry.

5* Montenegro from £699pp?
You know you want to!

Hotel Ami Budva Petrovac
This place has got laid-back sunshine stays written all over it. Just a two-minute walk from the pebbled shoreline – which has a small section reserved for hotel guests – and a pair of pools back at base, you'll have plenty of opportunities to kick back and soak up the sunshine here.

A poolside snack bar is on hand to dole out drinks and snacks during the afternoons, while the buffet restaurant serves an international spread for breakfast and dinner. A Mediterranean à la carte eatery is tucked away here, too, serving lunches and dinners of flavourful fare.

When you're not tucking into the eats or diving into the pool, you'd do well to check out the R&R offering at the spa and wellness centre. Find your zen with an indulgent treatment or spend a few quiet minutes in the sauna or steam room – that's the kind of me-time we can get behind.

Located on Montenegro’s Adriatic coast, Petrovac is a leafy resort town surrounded by natural beauty. Petrovac holidays offer the chance to kick back on golden beaches, hike through wooded mountains, explore the coastline and sample fine Montenegrin hospitality.

Price based on 2 adults sharing a Standard Twin Room for 7 nights on BB basis. Transfers and 23kgs allowance included.

✈️Gatwick 3rd Jun 25 from £699pp

🐢 Do you know at Designer Travel, we pride ourselves in being "Turtley Awesome"?! 🐢

✨Not only do we care about our customers, but we also care about our environment and sustainability so many of the suppliers we work with have clear environmental policies so you can be sure when you book your holiday with me, you are giving back something to the local destination I send you to? ✨

🏖 Now most of us are back at our desks, our minds will be drifting to getting away either for the Easter or Summer holidays, celebrations such as birthdays, weddings, honeymoons, anniversaries or even that "bucket list" trip that we have wanted to tick off for such a long time now. Well I am here to help along with our fabulous suppliers.

😊Take a look below at some of the mainstream tour operators I can book directly with which takes the strain away from you and the stress of trying to secretly scroll the internet whilst at work as you are just not ready to be there yet! I am here to make the calls, compare the prices, ensure you find the right holiday for you and your loved ones, so why not let me help.

I am available on email, WhatsApp, and even the good old telephone! Get in touch to have a no obligation chat as I will be there pre departure, during and after your travels ensuring your money is protected too.

So it's that time between Christmas and New Year when thoughts turn to getaways. Well I am here to help as your personal travel expert!

Here's a little taster of some of the things I offer with my partnership at Designer Travel.

Cyprus Beach Paradise from £599pp

Experience everything that lively Protaras has to offer at the modern, elegant, Capo Bay hotel, set right in the heart of the resort. Iconic beach Fig Tree Bay is just in front of the hotel, so you won't have to wander far for the feeling of Cypriot sand between your toes.

The pool scene here is thoroughly chic – a lagoon-style affair, including an adults-only area, fringed with loungers perfect for whiling away an afternoon in sunshine while the laidback poolside bar keeps those cocktails coming.

For a spot of pampering, head inside to the lush spa for a treatment, or make use of the sauna, heated indoor pool, hot tub, steam bath, hammam, and a Vichy shower.

Price based on 2 adults sharing a Twin Room with Inland View for 7 nights on BB basis. Transfers and 23kgs allowance included.
